Facebook Forever?
How much do current friendships and their maintenance factor into the decision-making process of those who are thinking of moving out of a region or state? I suspect very little, and while FB may satisfy their need to feel "chummy" through being updated and such, how many of them actually take the time to do something more substantial to stay in touch? Talking on the phone or writing a letter? Facebook may indeed be most useful to family members; their ties are based on more than whim. Those who know what it is to maintain close friendships will not really need it, and FB will foster illusions for the rest.
